This presentation was part of the fifth annual 2020 Ted Rogers Centre Heart Failure Symposium. This presentation was part of the Saturday Dec 5th, Managing and Preventing Heart Failure in Primary Care Day.
The fifth annual Ted Rogers Centre Heart Failure Symposium was held virtually for the first time, Dec. 4-5, 2020. This meeting, which blends clinical innovations with the latest scientific advances, has grown to become Canada’s largest conference on heart failure.
On Saturday, December 5th, we held a symposium for primary care practitioners who manage patients with heart failure, as well as other front-line health-care professionals. Experts addressed a range of topics from telemonitoring to genomics to practical considerations for each patient to developing one’s own heart function clinic.
